Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles (play-graded). Cover looks good, moderate scuffing, creases, surface impressions and a few spots of surface abrasions (front/back); discoloration spots on front and near center on back. Inner-sleeve is original (photos/credits); three seams partially split.. Spine is somewhat readable with weaar. Minor shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Deep Sea Skiving, the debut album by the British female vocal group Bananarama, peaked at no.7 on the UK album chart and was certified Silver by the BPI. It rose to #63 on US Billboard 200 charts. Three singles were Billboard charting tracks: Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye (#26 Mainstream Rock), Shy Boy (#14 Dance Music Club) and He Was Really Sayin' Something (#16 Dance Music Club). The inner-sleeve of the vinyl release contained numerous photos of the group, several of them in childhood. These pictures have not been included in any CD version of the album to date. A reviewer on allmusic.com says, "it's Bananarama's finest album by far, and an underappreciated pop gem of its era."
